Easily the scale must be trillions of orders of magnitude larger.
Consider how many trillions of microscopic algea deposited over a 10's of million years contribute to some thing like the 400 meter chalk cliffs at Dover in England.
The carboniferous period 135 million years ago responsible for the worlds finite supply of Oil would probably exceed those figures on their own.
Not to mention the far larger known supplies of coal.
If AFD was to apply his error to say the distance between
NY and LA he would have them less than a 100 meters apart.
